Security & Fraud Awareness

A few habits that keep your account safe — and what Milestone will never ask you for.

Never share your PIN or OTP

Milestone staff will never ask you for your PIN, password, or one-time passcode — by phone, SMS, email or in person. Anyone who does is not from Milestone.

Verify before you click

Check the sender's address carefully before clicking a link or downloading an attachment claiming to be from Milestone. When in doubt, type our web address in yourself rather than clicking a link.

Use official channels only

Only use the Milestone Mobile App, our official website, or a verified branch. Be wary of anyone directing you to an unfamiliar app, link or "agent" outside these channels.

Watch for urgency and pressure

Fraudsters often create a false sense of urgency — "your account will be frozen," "act now." Milestone will never pressure you to act immediately without giving you time to verify.

Protect your card and device

Cover your PIN at ATMs and POS terminals, keep your phone's lock screen enabled, and log out of internet banking on shared devices.

Check your statements regularly

Review your account activity in the mobile app or via statements, and report anything unfamiliar right away.
